The highly controversial and bitterly divisive Springbok Tour occurs in New Zealand. As the country hosts the visiting Springbok rugby team from South Africa, which is in the violent throes of Apartheid, large portions of the public bitterly protest in violent clashes with police. Many activists view the tour as supporting Apartheid leading to passionate and bitter protest marches with one of the most famous slogans being "One two three four, we don't want your racist tour!"
